At Dbhkt Fit Steer Skew
The Four-H dab boy* who a-
hlbltod theFr fat Hiih at tha DU-
trlct Fat Steer Shaw t» Wichita
op Feb. 32, 33, 34, brought home
the bacon to the ton* of 88,886.60
for the sale afTO calves and then
in addition to this amount the boy*
won 3397.66 aa premiums, making
a grand total of $4,284.16.
You can say what you wish but
this is a grand accomplishment
for 4-H club members of Young
county, some of whom are only 10
years of ago and who have never
bad the experience of* exhibiting
livestock in a regional show.
Then In addition to this Jerry
Ben Andrews of Olney was the
winner of showmanship award,
winning a Stetson hat as an
achievement award, states Carl
Kemplin, assistant countv agent.
Young county was the only
county in this whole area who ac-
complished the difficult task of
having all ten calves allowed from
one county to remain in the show.
The happy experience of each
boy was the auction sale of his
calf followed by a luncheon fur-
nished by Wichita Daily Times.
Then the presentation of his prem-
iums in cash. Nine boys exhibiting
the 10 calves are very eager to
start their 4-H club calf feeding
program for I960 and are more
interested in livestock feeding

space above tha bad, says Ladle
King, H. D. Agent, by building a
double docker bed.
She says the bods should be wall
built to taka car* of tha strain
that comes from climbing on them.
They should be at least 89 inches
Attention, Swine
Producers In County
A new leaflet, L-121, External
Parasites of Swine, may be secured
from your local county agent. Ex-
tension entomologists James A.
Deer and Allen C. Gunter of Tex-
as A4M College are the authors.
They say that hog mange oc-
curs in all parts of Texas and hogs
of all ages are susceptible but the
younger and older animals are
most seriously affected.
Hog mange is caused by very
small mites and first symptoms
are usually noticed near the bog’s
.head. If control measures are not
taken, the animal's entire body
may soon be affected.
The hog louee, tnjr point out,
is a bloo<)-aucker; severe infesta-
tions cause fleeh losses, poor feed
utilisation and general unthrifti-
ness.
Sanitation and using recom-
mended insecticides will give con-
trol, they say, is benzene hexa-
chloride wettable powder used at a
strength of .12 per cent gamma.
A chart in the leaflet gives the di-
lutions that should be used.
Lindane and Chlordane also give
satisfactory results provided cor-
rect formulas are used. Deer ani
Guner strongly urge that you visit
your county agent and gel a copy
should be uasd to make tha had
strong. This is a joh, she haHovsa,
tha young man in tha family win
enjoy doing.

Management And
Maintenance Of
Form Buildings
Farm buildings require manage-
ment along with maintenance and
the more uses that can be mnde of
the buildings the mort profitable
they are to the farm business. B.
O. Dunkle, county agent, compares
farm buildings to n specially de-
signed machine and .notes that the
parts of the machine that will re-
ceive the greatest amount of wear
are provided with special lubrica-
tion. He say* farm building-
should get the same attention.
'T Improper roof and ground drain-
age, he points out, are chief causes
for failure in farm building. Wa*er
dripping from the roof of a build-
ing will splash dirt and water
against the foundation and may
cause the building to settle and
over a period of time will cause
parts ef the building near' the
ground to rot. Good management,
^he says, will include gutters and
downspouts to take the water from,
the roof and away from the build-
ing and its foundation. Grading
and drainage are mighty impor-
tant items in prolonging the use--
ful life of a building.
He points out. that the use of
wood preservatives’ and ijaint on

James Buchanan intended to re-

the sudden death of his fiancee
caused him to change his plans.
He continued in active politics and
in 18&7 was elected president.

Dunkle says each limb from but-
ton to top must be thoroughly wet
with the spray and this can best
be done with a good power sprayer.
